The pipe organ, invented well more than 2,000 years ago, was once regarded as one of the world’s most advanced technological innovations. This presentation explores the relatively recent intersection of the organ with electronic music, offering an overview of the instrument’s technical and artistic capabilities, as well as its adaptability to a wide array of styles. Examples of works for organ and electronics will be introduced, alongside an introduction to extended techniques associated with the hyper organ movement. The talk also addresses practical strategies for collaboration, including approaches to working with organists and exploring the instrument’s potential firsthand. By situating the pipe organ within the context of modern electronic music and innovation, this presentation highlights its vast potential for integrating acoustic and electronic sound.
